After posting the last message, I got word that two more checks have been secured for our monetary relief program Hand-To-Hand. Both came not by mail or Paypal, but were hand delivered to an SNFF representative in Glendale, CA. The two donations, one for $50 and the other for $500 will help to secure desperately needed help to 2 ¾ families. This brings are total up to $2,250, which is enough to help 11 ¼ families and empower an equal amount of citizens from the city of Martuni who many of have themselves liberated this territory with their blood and that is now under threat of being depopulated.
We are almost half way to the goal of helping 25 families for the first delivery of aid to Lachin on January 6th. I think there is a good chance that we will secure $5,000 by Xmas, but if we don’t I’m personally going to kick in the balance if need be. Of course if we collect more than $5,000, then there will be that many more families helped and that many more common citizens educated as to what going on in the lifeline that connects Artsakh to Armenia proper.
For those of you who want to participate and help out a truly needy Armenian family living in our liberated territory of Lachin, take a look at the program Hand-To-Hand that we have put together and if you agree with the method we have chosen to help our people and open the eyes of many natives as to what is really going on to their fellow citizens, you can send you tax-deductible contribution made payable to: The Shahan Natalie Family Foundation, Inc., 3727 W. Magnolia Blvd., Suite 215, Burbank, CA 91505 or click on the donation button below to make a secure payment with a credit-card via Paypal.
